"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the earth all one's lifetime." - Mark Twain "Innocents Abroad"
They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.
ODE TO REMEMBRANCE from the poem For the Fallen by Laurence Binyon.
How many days until LATE NIGHT in The PHOG!?
and other dates of interest...*Estimate based on first Friday in October. Official announcement expected in July 2024.
KU MEN'S HOOPS -
• CBS Sports latest mock draft after the NBA Combine has Johnny listed as a lottery pick, #13 overall to the Sacramento Kings. However, it is also noted that "There is a good chance, though, that he remains available later in the first round."
247Sports: NBA Draft 2024: Reed Sheppard soars, Rob Dillingham slides in CBS Sports' post-combine mock draft
No sign of Kevin McCullar in the top 30, and Round 2 was not presented.
OTHER KU ATHLETICS NEWS -
• KUAthletics.com: Kansas Volleyball Continues to Explore, Plays Second Match in Budapest
Next up - from Hungary to Slovenia!
ELSEWHERE -
• CBSSports.com - Norlander: Historic House case settlement has college basketball -- not college football -- to thank for saving the NCAA
• CBSSports.com - Cobb: 2024 NBA Draft: Coleman Hawkins, Cam Christie among top players with hardest portal-or-pro decisions to make
After spending yet another Kansas Spring night under a Tornado Watch, today is unfolding as a partly cloudy Sunday in Lawrence this Memorial Day weekend. Chance of precipitation is 45%, possibly a thunderstorm, most likely later in the day. Currently 61F (16.1C) this morning, high today expected to be around 79F (26.1C).
• CBSSports.com - Cobb: 2024 NBA Draft: Alabama, Arizona lead teams with most at stake with players deciding to withdraw or stay in
The fact that Kansas is not mentioned at all implies -- at least to this reader -- that the author considers Furphy gone. Because if there was a chance he would return he would have a significant impact on next year's Jayhawks team.
That is all for now.
Hope you have a GREAT day!
ROCK CHALK!
Thought for the day

The end is nothing; the road is all.

This Monday remember:
All gave some;
Some gave all.
--Respect.
The Championship flag has been replaced by the stars and stripes which will be half staff from sunrise to noon Monday.
